but there's no joke that the obsession of mohammed elbaradei is seeing his back. i saw a prominent industrialist who's among the so-called group of wise men who did meet with mubarak. his feeling was that those in tahrir square should declare victory. he said, look, we've already got a promise mubarak will leave. we've got the effective dismemberment of the national democratic party, which is the public party that has run egypt since sadat times. we've got the promise of a free and fair election so why not declare victory instead of insisting that he has to go for that victory to be? well, the fact is that these protestors are not satisfied and one can see why they would have great suspiciouss, as i outlined over what might happen in the next few months. when suleiman met with abc's christian a.m. pour, he said "look, there's no culture of democracy in this country, there are foreign forces, foreign agendas pushing the use of egyptian into this pro-democratic party. these were not the words of someone who made you feel confident that egypt has really turned the pa

." >> rose: so where is mohammed el bare di in all this? >> where is mohammed elbaradei? not on the street, that's for sure. >> rose: some of the people who work with him or know him or are represented in the leadership? >> some of the young organizers are some of his supporters and they're the ones who put his name up there as a potential candidate. >> rose: does he have a serious role if, in fact, mubarak goes? >> well, it's hard to tell what would happen but when you're out on the streets you don't get the sense that he does have a big following. you do have a group of young people who are enthusiastic about the idea of mohammed elbaradei. you also have no other sort of public figures that have had that backing so... he's also been passive in a way. he's chosen to follow the lead of young people who have been the ones moving the street. >> rose: and has he taken himself out of being a president? >> no, i think... >> well, he's been diffident which is not a way... that's not a way to get to be a president. >> rose: there's also this for me, the autocracy of this governm

today i met with mohamed elbaradei, one of the opposition leaders here. and he said that he hasn't really been in any kind confi negotiations with the government at all despite the fact that the government has claimed that there are negotiations going on with its opposition. i think there are some smaller opposition parties here that are have been more or less tame or have played the government game in this sort of tame parliamentment and they are engaging in some kind of dialogue with the government. but all these forces out in the streets of cairo in the square including the muss him brotherhood, various-- various student groups, various democratic groups, they don't seem to have been addressed very directly by the government at all. something that was significant today was when mohamed elbaradei said that he and he believed he represented all egyptians, saying that they wanted pew barack to leave with dignity. they're not talking about trying him or humiliating him. and i think that was an important gesture because i think one of the reasons why mr. mu

now it could be six months, that seems a little-- mohamed elbaradei thinks that is too short a time. he wants to see one year. i would say one year is the outside limit. otherwise people are going to start questioning that. >> an also we need the south african models in their next because they mean by that disclosure amnesty and reconciliation. all the people who are related to the regime, corrupted by the regime had abuses against the people. you wouldn't, you would need to get into bloodbaths, and revenge and retaliation for years. >> i agree with that. >> but what you need is really to encourage this kind of south africa. first you need to disclose. it is not about forget about what happened we're going to start now. no, you cannot start from cloon place without first saying this close for me. you have an amnesty even on the lowest levels. and then let's have a reconciliation. and this is very important. because this is going to be the next question after people finish with the men, or big names with the regime or related it to corruption and oppression. then they would start talk

. >> well, another interesting thing about what's been happening here in egypt is unusual role of mohammed elbaradei, the nobel prize winning atomic energy watchdog from the u.n. having finished his career as an international diplomat, a bureaucrat, he waded into egyptian politics with his nobel prize in hand and he's done... he's done some interesting things. you know, he's not a wildly popular figure here in the sense that people really want to rally behind him and march under his banner. a lot of people think he's kind of a foreigner because he hasn't spent much time in egypt. but what he has done is he's gotten all of the opposition groups to work as... to talk to each other which they hadn't done before. so you see a partnership between the little liberal parties and the liberal intellectuals on the one hand and the big giant muslim brotherhood on the other. and the other thing he's done is he's presented a unified face both to the egyptian government and to the west. the opposition here have all sort of coalesced behind him as their point man to talk to the government. and he's not a
